Exhibition/speaking opportunities for May H-1B events are fully sold out. "By popular demand", ILW is pleased to make available H1B to EB5 Events in July in 6 new cities teeming with Indian H-1Bs exploring the EB-5 route.

Special Note for Attorneys: This event will feature three immigration attorney panels solely on immigration law matters. The only way an immigration attorney can participate and speak at this event is if they are nominated by an issuer who is exhibiting

The collapse of the EB5 market in China claimed its first major casualty
today - the Chief Executive of IIUSA, Peter Joseph, is no longer with the
organization. Whether he was fired or resigned is beside the point, what is
to the point is that the industry is coming painfully to grips with the
fact that the endless supply of capital from China has ground to a halt.
Immigration Daily has learned that dozens of EB5 offerings have exited the
market in recent weeks, and returned to traditional mezzanine financing.
Many offerings still remaining in the market may still be incomplete a year
from today, and will also eventually leave the EB5 market to return to
traditional financing.

The downfall of China's EB5 market has left the entire EB5 industry in a
state of turmoil where all the old assumptions are now being challenged.
IIUSA's central message to the industry's needs for the last many years was
that legislation was the panacea - and that Congress could be cajoled into
allocating more visa numbers for the EB5 quota, and that the industry's
China-focused model did not need to change. This was always an untenable
position, Immigration Daily repeatedly pointed out that larger immigration
matters, such as DREAM, would first have to be resolved, before EB5 could
merit Congressional attention. The EB5 industry will have to learn to live,
at least for another couple of years, without any Congressionally granted
quota relief.

However, EB5 is not dead, far from it. The word of the year in EB5 for 2018
is "different" - as in the industry will continue, with different players,
with different attitudes, and different ways of raising capital.
Intelligent investors are coming forth by the hundreds in India, and by the
dozens in Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, Russia and Turkey - issuers able to
withstand scrutiny by the discerning EB5 investors who define today's EB5
landscape will still be able to be fully subscribed, and timely subscribed
for their offerings, even if investment amounts are raised. Immigration
Daily will continue to chronicle this year of change in EB5 as 2018
unfolds.
